David,
I updloaded the opendx-4.1.1-1.i386.rpm to ftp.sdsc.edu.

The opendx-4.1.1-redhat-6.2-linux-rh6.tar.gz should go away.  The
dxexec and dxui in opendx-4.1.1-redhat-6.2-linux-bin.tar.gz does
frequent
crashes or hang forever.

The binaries new opendx-4.1.1-1.i386.rpm should be much more stable, and
relatively bug free.
I also uploaded a tiny CDF RPM.  It contains nothing else but libcdf.so,
which is
needed for Opendx-4.1.1.

I used ImageMagick 5.2.2.  Thanks goes to John Cristy for accepting my
request to fix
the freememory and reallocatememory comflicts with CDF and NetCDF.  It
works great
with OpenDX, other users should use IM 5.2.2-beta code from IM FTP
server.

BTW: I also have somewhat buggy Opendx for upcoming RedHat IA64 ;-)
Compiled it using
SGI DevPro compilers and HP NUE IA64.  I had to literally compile 100
things 
with SGI DevPro compilers under HP NUE IA64.. CDF, NetCDF, IM, HDF,
XFree86 and a lot more
to have a decent IA64 development environment for OpenDX.
Once Intel's IA64 is out this fall or winter, we might have stable
OpenDX for IA64 by that
time.

Below is the README file.

Thanks
Suhaib


-----------README-----------------

Compiled using DX 4.1.1 (CVS July 3, 2000)

NOTE: This binary release is intended for: 

GCC 2.95.x and higher users.  

RedHat users who are using RH 6.x with custom kernel, e.g kernel 2.2.16
and higher should use this release.  

This release was built on RedHat 7.0 (not released yet to public by
RedHat - but is a great step forward by RedHat folks and I would
certainly recommend upgrading to RedHat 7.0 when released this Fall. 

THIS RELEASE MAY NOT BE BACKWARD COMPATIBLE WITH RedHat Linux 6.2 and
lower OR a RedHat OS with Kernel 2.2.14 and lower.

RedHat Linux 6.x users should use opendx-4.1.0 RPMS.


Compiled using:
---------------
1) ImageMagick 5.2.2, with new OpenDX compatible API.  Thanks to John
Cristy for, accepting my request and making necessary changes to make IM
compatible with OpenDX.  IM libraries are statically linked to avoid
confusions with other versions of IM.

2) CDF 2.7 - Shared library is linked.  Either you need to compile it
yourself and install it or
download the libcdf-2.7.i386.rpm from same site you downloaded OpenDX
4.1.1. The libcdf RPM contains only /usr/lib/libcdf.so - no headers or
binaries.

3) NetCDF, and HDF libraries are statically linked.

4) GCC 2.96 (aka 3.0??)

5) Glibc 2.2

6) XFree86 4.0.1

7) SGI OpenGL. You can download SGI OpenGL RPM from
http://www.opendx.org.  OpenGL from XFree86 4.0.1 will work too.

8) MOTIF 2.1.30 from http://www.motifzone.net

You must have XFree86 4.0.x with OpenGL exntension and/or SGI OpenGL SI,
MOTIF 2.1.30, and GCC 2.95.x or higher.

Any questions and/or comments to OpenDX Mailing list PLEASE.

Enjoy!!!
